Yep, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could never blame anyone for that.

Then when you are your own boss you can do it your way!

It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.

But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don't need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.

But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.

Life fair. It's only trying to help you not have to use whatsapp.

And yet I am watching a re-resurgence of collecting crap began anew. Take vinyl for example: heavy, bulky, environmentally awful and on par with if not worse sounding than alternatives. But people want something tangible. Which I am also beginning to see with old collectables. Also art: there is a movement to get physical art since digital is not tangible and possibly not even made by a human.

China, silver, and plastic ware: I have seen an uptick in those as well which is bizarre. Is it just a matter of time till the cycle comes around again?

Every single ununtu release since Warty has been trouble. Ubuntu breaks. Does wetid things. Makes weird choices. Upgrades often fail.

I am surprised it took you this long to run into issues.

I agree, but I am not sure what that will look like. Restructuring? Bail out?

They currently don't make anything anyone even wants. How long till they can retool and get competitive?

In any case, it would seem like whatever is promised to employees now may not be what they get in the future.

Might as well promise them anything. Boeing is likely to fold or require layoffs soon anyways.

Your merits matter most to me. But we all need to get the hell away from that platform.

That sucks. And the only way to fix it is to get people not to play.

I am on hiring committees for a large firm for it positions. When people put their linked in on their resumes, I see it as a negative. If they can't value their personal data, I don't see how they can value my companies.

Linked in shouldn't even be an option. It was shit before microsoft bought them (email man in the middle, remember that?) and somehow microsoft made it worse.

I would never touch that platform. Friends don't let friends use it.

You are not helping!

It's has been a great game on my steam deck while I have been traveling.

Don't tell me this! I have it on my steam deck and it is addictive enough. I had no idea it was available on android. I am going to try and pretend I didn't read this.
